Bryant University has promoted pitching coach Tim Cronin to Associate Head Coach for the 2026 season, head coach Ryan Klosterman announced. Cronin, entering his fourth year on the staff, has overseen one of the top pitching rotations in the America East, helping lead the Black and Gold to back-to-back regular season championships. His staff tied the America East single-season strikeout record with 475 in 2025 and ranked 43rd nationally with a 4.74 ERA, the team’s lowest since 2021. Five of six weekend starters under Cronin’s guidance earned All–America East honors, and rookie Michael Belcher was named Rookie of the Year. Cronin Athletics has played a key role in the club’s recent success.
